چکیده:
In countries where Muslims are in minority, Sunday school or weekend madrasah is a significant training ground and educational facility for Muslim children to preserve their Islamic identity and know their religious responsibilities. One such madrasah is the London-based Shia Ithna’asheri Madressa (SIM) whose syllabus which is constantly being revised and updated has been adopted by other madrasahs across the globe. Since its inception in 1985, its teaching methods have been introduced and for the new millennium, SIM (www.madressa.net) has branched out onto the Internet, thereby giving students worldwide free access to the teaching material and manuals (e.g. Course Notes 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012). Complete with 11 Course Notes for students from age four to 16 (pre-school to high school), the madrasah offers four subjects, viz. Akhlaq (ethics), Fiqh (jurisprudence), Tarikh (history), and Qur’an.

"These lessons about the Mahdi wholly or partly are guided by the following conceptual frameworks: "self-development and societal wellbeing" as inspired by the Prophet’s dictum, "obedience to Allah and service to mankind" (tā‘at al-khāliq wa khidmat al-makhlūq), for Akhlaq; the risālah of marji‘ al-taqlīd as inspired by the Qur’anic verse "Whoever acts righteously, [whether] male or female, should he (or she) be faithful—We shall revive him with a good life" (Sūrat al-Naḥl 16:97), for Fiqh; and the establishment of a just and an equitable society, as is so eloquently stated in the Qur’an, thus: "Certainly We sent Our apostles with manifest proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that mankind may maintain justice" (Sūrat al-Ḥadīd 57:25), for Tarikh.
